"Viewscapes: Home and Abroad" Opens at Via Umbria

CiaoDC visited Georgetown's Via Umbria on Sunday for the opening of Dr. Angela Puglisi's exhibition, "Viewscapes: Home and Abroad."

The exhibition showcases Puglisi's work, which focuses on nature scenes in Washington, D.C., New York, France, and Italy.  An Italian immigrant, Puglisi resides in Vienna, Virginia, but her works seek to share "the poetry of nature" from scenes around the world.  Click this link to hear more about Puglisi's work and Italian heritage from our "CiaoDC Chat" with the artist!

Via Umbria is the perfect home for Puglisi's exhibit.  An Italian gem in the heart of Georgetown, this multifaceted stop boasts Italian goods and groceries, a wine cellar, ceramics, and an intimate restaurant and terrace.  The front window of the shop says it all: "First we eat. Then we do everything else." Via Umbria, from its array of fresh Italian products to its impressive wine collection, celebrates the spirit of Italian culture while comfortably fitting into its setting on Wisconsin Avenue.

Pugilisi's exhibit will be open from June 10th to July 15th.  Fore more information about Via Umbria, visit viaumbria.com.
